Ok here goes.

The chassis, wishbones and hubs and drive shafts are TC3.

The diffs are Schumacher Mi2.

The diff housings are Yokomo YR4 and the motor mount and layshaft mount are for Yokomo YR4 models, made by Fastrax - I think that one is the Type J motor mount, but I have turned it back to front to put the motor ahead of the spur gear.

The belts were an absolute headache. Rear is a Schumacher CAT and SST slim belt. Front is one of the many Yokomo YR4 variants. There are 3 or 4 lengths to choose from. I think the one I used is also J Type.

I'm now plotting out the steering and going through my boxes of "rubbish" to find suitable bits. It's quite fun.

If you want to stiffen the chassis even more use a longer screw where the chassis brace screws into the chassis (I used 1" inch) this makes a big difference in rigidity.
Also try the 3 racing shock towers more rigid plus an extra mounting hole for tuning.
Saying this speaking to a sponsered Associated racer he was cutting the graphite brace (one finger say) to give the car more twist in the chassis left to right. His explination was the 415 & pro4 twist more than the TC4.
My opinnion make it rigid and let the suspension do the work twist or flex is to hard to control cosistently.

I have heard rumors that Team Associated has been busy redesigning many of the TC4 parts. Anyone out there know if this is true and which parts are being looked at?

History points to this as the TC3 was released and about a year later, an upgrade factory team kit was released with several key changes (plastic diffs, droop screws, etc). Turned a great car into a world beater.

try these links for pics of the underside and fan to go along with the above description.

damn you..thats the pic i was looking for (the 2nd 2 on competition x)

RCKnight....why not just get trusty tamiya shocks? i loved mine....so easy to get them the same (rebound) and they were just soooo smooth..they are definatley finding their way to my car once i have some spare cash
